Just had my delivery date for tomorrow cancelled due to my car not passing their inspection | They offered me a car in another city that did not have the white seats that I ordered. I passed on accepting something I did not want. Has anyone else had this happen at the last minute? | 2020-12-22 01:03:33 | 15 | Believe me this is a good thing. | 2020-12-22 01:07:54 | 103 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 10,473 |
PSA: Try Superchargers even if they seem not to work | Arrived at the Dayton OH Supercharger this evening for our first ever Supercharge. Guy with a Model S flagged us down and said that only two stalls were working and there was a line for them. He indicated the order and that he d be back to free his spot in about 20 minutes. I pulled into one of the vacant spots decided to try anyway and sure enough pushing the button did nothing on my charge port so I settled in to wait. A Model S pulled up and I shared the bad news as it had been relayed to me. He plugged in the charging cable saying Never listen to anybody else about the state of a Supercharger. And while it stayed on blue for a really long time it eventually flipped over to green. So I went back to my stall and manually opened the charge port. Plugged in the Supercharger. Went blue then yellow. Pulled the connector out and blew to clear out any debris. Plugged it back in and promptly got 115 kW. So for any other new owners I pass along: trying a Supercharger that might not work is better than getting no power. And if the button on the handle doesn t open your charge port try opening manually and see if it works anyway. | 2019-12-23 01:48:31 | 247 | The old blow in the cartridge trick huh? | 2019-12-23 01:58:23 | 154 | Tesla charging port locking | 14,933 |

Disable volume icon when Sentry Viewer is open | So many times now I ve tapped just a little too low when trying to delete clips and ended up setting the music to max volume blowing up my ear drums. Can we please get it so the volume icon either does nothing or at least doesn t pop up the slider when the Sentry Viewer is open. | 2020-10-04 22:48:13 | 17 | Holy shit I did the same thing for the first time the other day.

Are all 21 Grey Turbine Wheels staggered? | I got my Model S 60 back in Dec. 16 (ordered in Nov.). We opted for the 21 Grey Turbine Wheels and also the Smart Suspension to go with it. Now at 5000 miles I scheduled a visit from a Tesla Service Ranger for a complimentary tire rotation. He looks at the car for a minute checked the VIN sticker in the door frame and then called the sales team. All this was to confirm that i was supposed to have the 245 265 offset staggered 21 wheels that were on my car. He made it sound like I had some extremely obscure setup but was assured that I deliberately configured my car this way. I had to get back to work so I left the conversation at that. Here s my concern: I never asked for offset wheels. Are all 21 grey turbines staggered in width? I didn t ask for that. I thought they had completely done away with the staggered wheel when they did away with the special suspension on the P85 s. I mean I only have a 60 I don t need staggered wheels this was all just for aesthetics. I went back to my Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement and nowhere in there does it designate that the 21 wheels are supposed to be staggered. Beyond that why did Tesla send a service ranger out to my car for a service that my car (per their attribute records) cannot take? Makes me think these offset wheels are not normal. Done with my rant. Without rotating tires I ll be burning through those tires even faster. Just curious if anyone else has been surprised with this... | 2017-04-25 04:00:39 | 6 | Staggered wheel setups are a very common thing among RWD cars. As far as I know 21 Turbines are 21 x 8.5 with a 40mm offset front and 21 x 9 with a 40mm offset rear. | 2017-04-25 10:45:31 | 2 | Model Y Wheel Options | 2,159 |
Major buyers remorse... for not choosing Tesla. | Sort of the backstory: This time last year it was time to purchase a new car. Had a kid on the way so we wanted something safe but spacious. No longer needed a truck and wanted something efficient. Preferred AWD. We did our normal search and narrowed it down to a dual motor TM3 sans AP FSD (my choice) or fully equipped Subaru Legacy (wife s choice). TM3 was relatively comparable to the fully equipped legacy w home charger + tax credits and estimated fuel savings. Tesla was the safest option. There are super charging stations at both malls we visit once a week to shop which was a nice plus. Wife mapped out all common trips we take... all covered so she wasn t apposed. Long story short - we chose the Legacy. We chose the Legacy strictly because there were zero Tesla service centers within a 2+ hours drive of where we lived and worked. It was a massive massive turn off and was extremely concerning if anything were to ever happen. Well... two days ago Tesla announced the opening of 30 (or whatever) new service centers around the world. And guess what? One of them is 0.6 miles away from my house. Yes the only factor which swayed our decision is being set up less than one mile away after having nothing within 120 miles. I ran the math the second i read the news and it just doesn t make sense anymore for us. The tax credit is gone. The cars more expensive with AP standard. And the color we wanted is no longer standard. Absolutely brutal. | 2019-08-09 17:10:33 | 677 | you should have posted here. I live about 300 miles from the nearest SC and only own Teslas (model S and X) We have excellent ranger service. In fact I will be pissed when a service center opens in the valley because I love the personal (at home at work) service I get from a great Tesla Ranger. | 2019-08-09 17:50:13 | 221 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 11,329 |
No Homelink No Problem (MYQ - Chamberlin) | ... It s a bit lengthy but may be worth it to some. First and foremost hope everyone is doing well with the pandemic we are experiencing. Now just like the title says let s get to it! After reading the following tweet - https: twitter.com elonmusk status 1247411179569287169?s=21 - I had to debate if I wanted to get a homelink added to my MY or wait for this update and figure a workaround for my garage door. While updates feature request along with everything else may take some time I think I may have found a viable solution that works specifically for MyQ equipped garage doors and below are the steps I took to get to the solution: 1. Create an account with IFTTT. Popular integration service for smart home devices applications. 2. Create account for MyQ equipped garage doors. This is needed so IFTTT can recognize the device at residence.(more on this later. 3. Login to the IFTTT account and search for MyQ. 4. There should be a button that mentions ‘MyQ works better with location . Once found click it. 5. This new page menu should show a few different services but we want to find the one titled ‘Close your MyQ garage when you leave home . This service should mention something about an active account linking subscription. Select connect. Now normally Chamberlin - producers of MyQ - would charge for any account looking to use an integration service such as IFTTT. However to my surprise Chamberlin is doing a free account link. This will allow uses to connect to the service. 6. After selecting connect for the IFTTT service it should give you a login screen for that of MyQ. Use the same account information you would use to login to MyQ. Now your MyQ account and IFTTT should be connected. However it should have triggered an email from Chamberlin (MyQ) for the free integration account. Follow the direction in the email and come back to IFTTT when you finish. 7. Once back in IFTTT you should be able to type in your address in order to geofence your desired radius from your house before having this service fire. The only other selection would the door house tied to the MyQ account. IMPORTANT NOTES: IFTTT mobile app should be used as this will keep track of your location. Ensure notifications and locations services of said device is turned on and always available for IFTTT and not while only in use. 2FA (two factor authentication) is highly recommend as the location of your garage is now linked to one of your services. THIS WILL ONLY CLOSE the garage door at the moment. Hopefully there will be another service to open the garage if entering another geofence. TL DR: follow the instructions to use IFTTT to work around having to put homelink in the car for now. I just got off work tired and on mobile so excuse the typos etc. I ll be happy to update if anything was missed as well. | 2020-04-12 02:04:54 | 20 | I truly love doing these kind of overkill hacks but in this case I d just use the remote. | 2020-04-12 05:57:57 | 7 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,042 |
Overheard an interesting fact at the Tesla Store in Scottsdale today | While sitting in one of their show cars I overheard one of the salespeople talking to a potential client. She said The car charges in only 20 minutes and you can charge it anywhere for free . Woah? What? That isn t even close. I would have expected their staff to be better educated. | 2014-06-21 21:32:48 | 5 | Maybe you misheard the beginning of the conversation where they specifically mention the Supercharger. I mean that s a pretty significant thing to say I m sure you missed the context. | 2014-06-21 21:32:48 | 16 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 14,566 |
Feature Request: Mileage notifications | I have to get my tires rotated every 5 000 miles on the Model S to keep the tire warranty but the odometer is slightly hidden and I never remember. If there was a way to set mileage alerts or notifications that would be great! | 2018-07-10 20:21:52 | 38 | Go with staggered summers.

Co2 footprint of a Model 3 vs equivalent ICE car? | Looking for resources for how long it will take for my footprint to drop below what it would have been if I bought an ICE or kept driving my ICE. Particularly living in Washington state. We have about 85% renewables and nuclear in our energy mix and then Natural gas with coal being the smallest energy source. | 2019-03-25 16:49:28 | 16 | The Union of Concerned Scientists has a [great online tool](https: www.ucsusa.org clean-vehicles electric-vehicles ev-emissions-tool) for exactly this. It ll show grams of CO2 per mile and the MPG equivalent for a gas car in your locality. | 2019-03-25 17:01:50 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 3,967 |
Alternative Fuel Tax in Georgia for buying an electric car (Tesla Model 3) | Love the car. But Georgia slaps an additional tax of \~$200 annually on the car because it s an Alternative Fuel Car and the taxes used for road expenses come from gasoline purchases. As a result they aren t getting any revenue from Tesla owners without this additional tax. It s an arbitrary amount and doesn t reflect my road usage (what I m contributing to wear and tear through my driving). My wife and I work at home and don t drive as much anyway. While the amount is relatively small and I agree I should contribute to wear and tear associated with automotive use of the roads there has to be a better way. Thoughts? | 2020-01-30 18:39:24 | 35 | Tax tire purchases. Reflects your mileage and the vehicle weight and therefore your actual wear and tear on the roads accurately. Not my idea someone else in this sub or another maybe. Thought it was a good idea myself. | 2020-01-30 18:48:02 | 50 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 1,428 |
Built in dashcam option on the Tesla would be an awesome extra | It would be excellent if Tesla added this as an optional extra. Have a system which would let you auto backup when you reach home and connect to wifi or even on demand download a recording. When buying an expensive car a lot of people want to protect their investment. Have aftermarket systems installed are sometimes a bit too messy. It might even help lower your insurance costs too? | 2016-09-11 20:08:45 | 104 | I thought this has been mentioned a few times before and the general consensus was that car manufacturers won t do it due to liability reasons | 2016-09-11 20:23:33 | 26 | Issues with Sentry Mode | 3,081 |
Autopilot and Emergency vehicles | Good day As a firefighter and firetruck driver I wonder how the autopilot acts in a number ob situations where an emergency vehicle with activated horn and blue beams is involved especially on a crossroad with green lights for the tesla and a rescue vehicle crossing over a red light (which I think is allowed nearly everywhere with activated horn and blue beams). Has anyone an Idea if the Autopilot will recognize it? I know that Autopilot is actually only a driver assistance but I think a lot of peoply rely too much on it. To reach full autonomous driving (Level 5) this would be necessary to master such situations. | 2017-06-14 13:38:59 | 31 | Autopilot doesn t have the capability to recognize that at this point. Certainly that s the type of thing that will need to be implemented down the road. | 2017-06-14 13:54:28 | 35 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 2,520 |
Model 3 Front License Plate Holder | Hello all! I got tired real quick of the available options for a Model 3 Front License Plate Holder. I did not want to use the one provided by Tesla (stick on) and the non-intrusive alternatives were way too expensive for me to justify buying them. I hope I m not the only one in this boat. Over the last 2 weeks I ve been working on a license plate holder specifically for the Model 3. I believe I have my model down. This particular one attaches to the fins at the front. To be fixed by cable ties. I m willing to print people one for $50 including shipping to the US. I can print it in a lot of colors as well. This will be done in PETG at 85% infill. I ll probably make the model available in the near future but I ll most likely also keep selling them as well for people who do not have a 3D printer. Edit: Picture of the (current) model: https: i.imgur.com AVgwOqO.png | 2018-09-17 15:39:49 | 19 | You would need to show pictures before anyone decides to buy... | 2018-09-17 15:41:58 | 19 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 11,754 |
Is taking a used Model S to the Caribbean Islands a good idea? | [Discussion]Committed to EVs but have no options in my new home of Sint Maarten. Also 2 infants and a 5 year old require +5 seater vehicle. So I need a breakdown of how bad an idea it is to buy a used Model S $40 000 or less and ship it. Its not my first EV shipped down there. No problems with that car even after hurricane Irma. So lay it on me what am I missing? Should I consider another EV from anywhere else in the world? | 2018-06-14 03:23:43 | 5 | Servicing will be troublesome the rest is the same as every other EV you re already familiar with. You re already used to no superchargers and the your Tesla will drive around the entire island 8 times per charge anyway so weigh your choice on whether you want to wait on ebay parts shipped to you should something break. | 2018-06-14 22:43:08 | 6 | Tesla Model 3 Ownership Experiences | 10,047 |
[Discussion] Best screen setup for first road trip in Model S? Supercharger tips to keep in mind? | Hi all About to take my first road trip tomorrow in the Model S and wondering what kinds of setups people like to use for their screen while driving. I plan to use abetterrouteplanner since that seems to be the popular choice for trip planning. However it seems like also using the built-in navigation would be good because the map renders better and I can get things like the nav map in the HUD and such. For that reason do people usually put the built-in nav in the top half and ABRP in the bottom half and just reference ABRP when arriving at a Supercharger so you know how long you should charge before moving on? Also any Supercharger tips for the route between LA and the Bay Area (California)? ABRP has me stopping in Bakersfield Harris Ranch and Gilroy but I know Harris Ranch can sometimes be a long wait to get seated for meals and I d rather have a short meal so I can get to my destination faster. Is it worth stopping at Kettleman City to check it out? Is it the nicest Supercharger on this route? ABRP has me arriving at Harris Ranch with 10% and Gilroy with 10% (per their default Charger Arrival Charge settings) which seems a bit scary to me in case something strange happens and I end up using more charge than ABRP expects. Should I be worried? I m aware of the stall sharing etiquette but beyond that anything else I need to be aware of? Maybe check the Supercharger occupancy as I get close so I can skip it if it s full and continue on to the next one (if battery capacity allows)? | 2018-06-29 05:18:51 | 7 | I use abetterrouteplanner beforehand just to get an idea or to plan times for meals and whatnot. The built in navy does great by itself so I use that for top half and music for bottom half. Simple as that. | 2018-06-29 05:23:54 | 8 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 24,212 |
Why isn t the Owner s Manual dynamic? | This might be my #1 frustration and it s a relatively minor one. But the Owner s Manual in my 2013 CPO Model S is the same as it would be for a brand new AP-equipped Model S. It s software damnit why can t they tailor the Owner s Manual to actually show the correct feature set for the car it s running in? | 2016-10-14 17:40:23 | 46 | I believe the owner s manuals have to be filed with the NHTSA and have regulatory requirements attached to them. Government agencies that require filed forms like your state dept of insurance aren t really set up to approve dynamic documents where the content might not be the same from one document to the next. | 2016-10-14 17:45:55 | 35 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 23,546 |
Energy-efficiency heat pump system - Why not in Tesla? | Reading this KIA EV SOUL specification: Energy-efficiency heat pump system. Heat pump systems are more efficient compared to conventional electric heater-based system. The Soul EV heat pump system increases driving distance by using recovered waste heat from the coolant water for the electric powertrain. I have always wondered why Tesla is not doing this. Also - VW eUP Windscreen heating system looks legit and efficient. I would like t osee these super-efficient stuff in Tesla Model III at least. | 2015-08-20 06:49:36 | 33 | Are you sure these technologies are a clear win when weight complexity and cost are taken into account? | 2015-08-20 08:40:32 | 12 | Tesla Climate Control Issues | 6,019 |
Scrapping a Tesla | This is thinking long term but I have scrapped a few cars in my life. Ran them for many years then brought them to a scrap yard and was paid for them. Easy no brainer for any ICE ride. With a EV after 10-20 years what will be the process for scraping? Will we need to pay a great deal for recycling our giant batteries or will there likely be Lithium recycling places that pay for the battery? | 2016-06-30 01:35:27 | 10 | I imagine like with a petrol car the scrap yard will make money both from you paying them to take it off your hands and from the parts they can sell to others. Even the battery pack could be sold to recyclers. They know how to make money. | 2016-06-30 01:43:45 | 5 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 16,832 |

Weird Seat Discomfort? | I know the model 3 seats are known for being some of the most comfortable seats out there but I constantly get a pressure point type of discomfort against my upper left leg area. After about 45 minutes my left leg gets very almost numb from that point dumb and I have to move it around. I ve tried playing around with all the settings and still can t find one. Just was seeing if anybody else had this problem? I might bring it up to Service when I drop the car off next week. Or see if they have other models I can sit in and see if they re different. It s the single thing I dislike about the car just unfortunately happens to be a big one. | 2021-05-13 03:22:36 | 5 | Everyone here gives me shit when I say the seats aren t good. They need adjustable thigh support the squab (base) isn t long enough. Like so: https: i.imgur.com RBwmEpK.jpg Subaru Audi BMW and plenty of others offer this. In the Tesla It s exacerbated by the overall seat position and limited adjustments and range OF the adjustments such as the inability to adjust the squab to a tilt angle that would allow you to shift your weight more towards the back of the seat. | 2021-05-13 03:39:10 | 19 | Model 3 Seat Impressions | 22,379 |
What features currently available in other automakers vehicles would you like to see in a refreshed Model S X | Title says all! With the news that the line is being shut down and that this could mean a potential refresh I wanted to see what minor features everyone else is hoping to see in a refreshed Model S X. For me I m really hoping for the following: - RGB ambient lighting I know this is a bit of a gimmick but it is hands down my favorite feature of my E63s! - Cooled seats no one wants a musty bussy - Heated Steering Wheel and arm rests - Real Metal finishes in interior - Surround View Camera - Better cupholders - Apple MagSafe charging - Return of the Sunroof will be a while before we get a roadster and love the wind in my hair While Model S X are in categories all their own the competition has definitely had a lot more innovation when it comes to creature comforts and I m curious to see what else they should add! | 2020-12-13 18:48:31 | 41 | Waayy better blindspot monitoring though I doubt they will include that. | 2020-12-13 18:54:25 | 52 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,656 |
Ceiling mounted power options? | I have a NEMA 14-50 installed on my garage ceiling. My idea was to have the cord hang down so I can plug in my vehicle and when I m done just unplug and raise it up a little so it s still hanging within reach but out of the way of everything else. Possibly something with a counterweight or retractable cord that you can set a limit on how high it ll go back up? Has anyone else done this? What are my options? The ceiling is 12ft high. | 2018-07-23 18:10:16 | 5 | https: www.teslarati.com retractable-tesla-umc-roof-mount Also I can t find it now but someone rigged up a PVC pipe with a cap that extended down from the ceiling with the plug and retracted back up. That was really slick - I ll keep looking. They put it in the attic in between studs.

How the turn signals should be | Please excuse my lack of photoshop skills. I had this thought on my drive this morning seeing the tiny little turn signal indicator. This is what it should be like instead. https: imgur.com a Yh5Iq Like the warning white border when you aren t holding the wheel during AP but only on one side and flashing red green to indicate if someone is in your blind spot. | 2017-10-31 12:19:48 | 48 | Anything that isn t a (serious) warning shouldn t flash the whole screen. It would distract from driving. | 2017-10-31 12:56:44 | 24 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 8,553 |
What government policy would actually speed the transition of semis? | There are 5.6 million semi trucks in the US doing 70% of the freight. The new Tesla looks AMAZING and is obviously a great strategic purchase but that s an investment many contractors and small businesses can not afford. Those huge diesel guzzlers last something like 20 years which will put off the decision for a lot of independent truckers. What is a realistic policy for the US government to accelerate this change? -diesel ban on semis -stricter emissions? -buy back program? | 2017-11-17 15:28:49 | 10 | * Strict emissions regulations with advanced testing. * On top of that an emission tax not just on CO2 (=carbon tax) but separate parameters for NOx and particulates. Total tax based on how many kilometers miles driven. * Emission zones that have a certain bar for entry and a financial cost associated for the lowest performers. Worst cases are just banned. Think cities neighborhoods etc. Yeah I like clean air :) | 2017-11-17 15:47:47 | 4 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,663 |
[Discussion] New Software Version- Possible HW3 | While I anxiously await sentry mode and monitor the rollout via TeslaFi I noticed something a little [funky](https: imgur.com a lEYElQ6). Two Tesla s in California received a new software update entitled “terminal HW3-mileage” anyone have any insight as to what that could be or mean? Both came from 2019.5.2 so it looks like they re Early Access Beta if not Alpha testers. Having paid for FSD I d be pumped if Thursday s (tomorrow) announcement was about new HW3 chips. Edit: both updates have since been removed from TeslaFi. | 2019-02-28 02:04:57 | 58 | My prediction: Tesla has completed the coast to coast demo using FSD Autopilot using AP HW3. They will post a video and release data tomorrow and announce the rollout of HW3 on all Tesla vehicles starting March 1st and the rollout of first FSD features (but not complete FSD) later this year. | 2019-02-28 03:00:51 | 51 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 24,634 |
If you aim to take Home Delivery don t do it in a state with no Tesla presence. It is only frustrating. | I post here often. This isn t a hit piece. I ve been stuck in the middle of *taking Home Delivery* of my Model 3 for 13 days and counting. I don t want anyone else to have this experience so I d like to share my story. This is a Rhode Island story (so I m sure Tesla knows who exactly this is by now) and I hope I m the only one with this story to tell. Rhode Island doesn t have a Tesla store only a Supercharger. So when I got a phone call in the beginning of September to prepare for picking up in Dedham Massachusetts I was super excited. We set a date and were good to go. A couple of days later this plan disappeared on my reservation page and I had to call support to find out whats up. Tesla informed me that I can t pick up in MA because MA would tax me for my car then RI would want to tax me a second time. I was never suggested a Mt. Kisco NY pickup as far as I recall we went right to Home Delivery. This was a mistake. There were stipulations. > First home deliveries can take *14-20* days or more from the tentative scheduled date to receive your Tesla . > On top of that We recommend not driving your Tesla once you receive it until after you have received your registration packet from Tesla which will be sent to you *up to 7 days after the delivery of your Tesla*. **We do not provide a moving permit.** So they don t provide temp plates and the Tesla collects dust in your garage if you have one for up to a week while they get you the paperwork to go register your own car in an ASAP-like fashion. Okay. Shitty but okay. So the original delivery date was around the 20th of September. That came and went because of difficulty communicating with my DS due to the massive end-of-quarter influx that Tesla did not prepare for. I don t blame my DS. This is a problem from the root. I kept on my DS as much as I could coordinating what I could on my side informing my DS that I need stuff like a Letter of Guarantee running through two MVPAs because the first one forgot to bring the financed amount down because I m paying tax on my own and other such things. This took too long. **Way over two weeks.** I sent Tesla the cashiers check on the 1st of this month without any delay on my part. 90% of my e-mails I sent were sent within the hour of receiving it none over 5 hours. In short this is on Tesla. Tesla receives my check on the 4th. They quickly dispatch the car while we are waiting for the cashiers check to clear which can take *6 days*. I find this policy strange as people bring cashiers checks or personal checks to their pickups and leave with a perfectly drivable car but okay the car is in transit while the check clears that s fine. The car arrives on Columbus Day exactly on the day it was scheduled in nearly-perfect condition. The 3rd party delivery service was fantastic they did a great job. Not even a scratch. The car sits the entire week with no word on the check clearing no word on paperwork shipping no word on anything substantial (my Home Delivery Specialist would get back to my typically within 24 hours). The only way I knew something happened with the check was the Welcome to the Tesla family! automated e-mail and the app turning on. Great progress. Then silence. Nothing on the paperwork other than It should be done on Friday we will try to get you a tracking number . I have informed delivery on all the major carriers so I checked UPS Fedex and USPS on Friday afternoon. Nothing. I found just today something that appeared on USPS. Tesla sent the paperwork on Friday ***DHL GROUND*** and it will be here on the ***TWENTIETH*** of this Month. *An entire month later than the original estimated delivery date* 10 days later than their worst-case scenario. And this is the straw that broke the camels back to me. I could understand all the other holdups but *sending my registration paperwork the cheapest way possible is an offense.* Meanwhile I ve been paying insurance and my debt to the credit union for the last twenty days so to say I m an uninjured party and should just be patient is off the table now. If you want your car drivable off the lot faster easier and with by far less complication do everything you can to get a pickup at a real location. Don t ever do Home Delivery if you don t have a Tesla presence. It s a waste of your time. Edit: Turns out the DHL is likely some other shipment from the same location. They have shipped the paperwork FedEx Overnight today. The rest is correct. | 2018-10-14 00:36:39 | 58 | NH resident here. Same story except my advisor SUCKED throughout the experience barely or didn t respond didn t process paperwork for days didn t send the registration packet until after I had the car even though I paid for it 20 days before. Anybody thinking about home delivery go pick up your car from a delivery center. Tesla will rent a car for you for the one way trip you will leave with a working app and a car that can supercharge it will have temporary plates you will have all the necessary paperwork and you won t have as many random delays due to people messing up their delivery. BTW if you take delivery at home make sure your delivery advisor marks your vehicle delivered or again you won t be able to use the app or supercharge. The first thing I wanted to do was take a road trip and my car wasn t delivered for a week. | 2018-10-14 01:04:51 | 17 | Tesla Model 3 Delivery Experiences | 9,496 |
FSD after purchase. | I m curious to hear if Tesla offers “sales” on Full Self Drive” for the Model 3. I m looking at purchasing a Long Range but don t want to buy FSD right now. I know it s $7 000 at purchase. I m not sure what the normal price after sale is. I ve heard it is more. Just not sure how much. I ve seen posts of people getting an upgrade for just $2 000 but I think that was for the S X and from enhanced to FSD so not really applicable. What prices have people seen for after sale upgrades to FSD recently? | 2020-01-12 19:11:41 | 25 | Don t do it. You re paying $7000 for automatic lane changes essentially which from what I hear do not work all that well. Navigate on auto-pilot is pretty cool. Otherwise it s smart summon which is too slow and quirky to actually be useful and auto-park which also from what I hear hardly ever works. You re paying $7000 for the promise that some time in the future your car will be fully self driving. When that will be who knows? The tech isn t there yet and on top of that there are legislative hurdles. I feel like it s going to be quite awhile before this feature is fully realized. | 2020-01-12 22:07:33 | 17 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 6,251 |

Removing side mirrors? | I ve noticed a few EV concepts are playing around with minimizing and or removing the side mirrors all together. Instead they use cameras and display the video inside the vehicle. I think it s a great idea to minimize air resistance and makes for a better looking car too. Do you think this is something Tesla is working on as well for future models?

Tesla Caravans and trailers that pay their way? | So I was day dreaming on the way home from work and I started to think about the Model X s towing abilities and what it would mean for range reduction. What would typical X owners want to tow in general? Over here in Europe I d bet there d be a lot of caravan towing going on. It occurred to me that Tesla could develop and market a Tesla Caravan which had a 40kwh range extending battery in its base which could charge from caravan site electrical hookups. It could also take charge from the X s regen braking if the X s battery was at optimum charge. I assume the extra weight of the caravan would deliver more inertia into the X s regen system so it would get a stronger charge current on braking. Then of course once you hook up at the caravan site you ll be recharging from the usual power points. The caravan would have to be connected and high tech. Maybe it could collapse in on itself a bit whilst being towed to reduce drag? The phone app could be used on the caravan too monitoring state of charge and controlling the caravan air conditioning. Is this a winner or what? I guess tesla could develop a suite of general trailers which have battery bases.You d just keep your trailer topped up at home. In this way the trailers pay their own way rather than being range drainers. Most general trailer trips are short I m guessing so maybe this isn t such a big idea. | 2015-01-21 21:11:28 | 13 | Tesla doesn t want to split its focus away from making electric cars widely available to the mass market. The downfall of any company is trying to do everything at once. They already face delays on the Model X and Model [](#e) so producing accessories to their cars would not be a good idea. | 2015-01-21 21:32:48 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 18,450 |
Supercharging Only | Hey everyone I currently am living in apartments with no EV charging but I have a set of super chargers extremely close to my work. Is this a viable alternative to plugging in at home. I m currently doing a little over 100 miles of travel per week. Also have they released pricing for super charging for model 3? I do understand this is not the intended use of the supercharger it is just my options currently. | 2017-11-28 13:49:46 | 14 | You can do that. The pricing is tied to local electricity rates. The only thing it will do is add some inconvenience as you d need to sit there for a while on the days you go. But if you re only talking 100 miles per week that s one day of going there and sitting for maybe 30 minutes. If it s near shopping or food then you won t even notice the time spent. I would just figure out when a good day and time to go would be that wouldn t risk them being full or inconveniencing those that need it for travel. | 2017-11-28 13:58:53 | 19 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 18,037 |

Hurricane Irma & Supercharging in S. FL | Hey friends and fellow owners in South Florida- not sure if the topic was recently covered and the following might be well duh to some of you but I just wanted to remind you all that in case an area loses power in the coming days the backup generators at Tesla service centers will not be used for vehicle charging. Cheers and best wishes to all. Edit: apologies not sure how to attach flair from the app that I m using | 2017-09-05 13:59:33 | 86 | Charge to 90-95 % and hope for the best. Do not charge to 100%. Going to 100 and leaving it there is the worst thing you can do (**though it s not a huge deal either way**). From another S FL-er --- good luck to all. If you are *truly* in a bind and superchargers are all down post to places like here and the FL sub-forum on TMC for help from fellow owners. Even plugshare has tons of private homes listed for charging.

Charge Cable Management | I have a regular 14-50 outlet without the Wall Charger and was wondering if a system like this would work for the charging cable? https: www.amazon.com gp product B01M6EB8DM ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A25ZAA3BEH2FFI& psc=1 If I can hang the cable and have it retract from the roof it would look a lot better and be easier to use than on the wall. Has anyone used a system like this? Is there a better version to use? | 2018-04-19 06:50:54 | 12 | I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed in my garage to use with the UMC charger. It was an easy straight run from my fuse box to the right side of my garage. The left side of my garage is a shared wall with my neighbor (townhouse). As we all know the charge port is on the left side. Here s how I solved it. I bought and installed the UMC charger wall-mounted holster to hold the weight of the charger brick - as to not dangle weight from the 14-50 outlet: https: www.thingiverse.com thing:1196607 Then using a 1 carabiner on each garage door track I strung the UMC 20 cable up and over the car hanging the cable just below the track on which the garage door slides. The cable slung just below the ceiling of the garage resembles the picture OP showed. Then I hung the UMC s connector end on this: https: www.homedepot.com p Tornado-40-lb-Large-Steel-J-Hook-48034 202639947 - but you could also use something like this https: www.thingiverse.com thing:1239550 | 2018-04-19 11:43:44 | 4 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 3,754 |
Just purchased SR+ but scared of FOMO | Hi everyone. I just bought an SR+ in metallic. Here are some details about my driving life: 1) I commute to work 5 days a week. 20 miles each way. 2) My work currently has free charges 3) I can get a nema 14-50 outlet installed at my house if i want to but im renting so it might end up being a waste of money later on. 4) I live in the bay area so no snow or anything. So here s the thing. I fear I ll regret not getting the AWD because acceleration is important to me it s not THE MOST important thing but it d be really nice to have some. Also I really would love the fog lights and interior lighting that the SR+doesn t have. The music and speakers I don t really care about. I tried searching for ways to activate the fog lights but couldn t find anything. There s also the fact that AWD has a lot more range. Ive been seeing stories of SR+ actual range is only 170 if you charge your phone and take off the hub caps and sentry mode and all that stuff.....and i feel like 170 is pretty bad. I m coming from a mazda 3 which does 370 miles per tank. Do you guys think I ll be fine with the SR+? I can comfortably afford the SR+ I can MAYBE afford the AWD but I don t want to regret my purchase at all. My income is $5k a month which can easily afford the AWD if it were for that alone but i m scared if I lose my job I m left with a huge debt. I have a $10k emergency fund but I only wanna use it for emergencies. Any advise is welcome any at all. Thanks guys | 2020-02-19 21:44:23 | 8 | In my experience.... since last July The SR+ has plenty of acceleration. You Are upgrading from a Mazda 3... you ll be fine If you have free charging at work and your commute is 20 miles each way I wouldn t even worry about trying to install a 14-50 at home. You ll be fine charging during the afternoons at work or even every other day at work. During the weekends if you need to charge up I m sure you could find a destination charger or a super charger to utilize. | 2020-02-19 21:52:40 | 44 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 10,517 |
Test-Drove a P85 went 130 mph. My thoughts | I ve drove several Teslas in the States but never had a chance to drive a Tesla in Europe until today in Frankfurt Germany. [Drove this beauty!](http: i.imgur.com 4sTKtvU.jpg) The acceleration was insane as expected with some young guys in passenger seats turning their heads as I entered the autobahn went to the left lane then zoomed away. Like really zoomed away! The consumption rate was easily over 1000 wh out of the charts and as I reached high speeds (110 mph+) the rate of acceleration slowed down a lot (typical for all cars) and the stability was a bit weak and shaky as I drove around a curve at ~130 mph. A BMW would handle a lot better at these speeds. However no engine noise and smooth acceleration was really really cool. Wish I asked the sales rep to make a video of it. The brakes were superb better than most cars I drove. Very smooth and responsive. It managed to slow down the P85 from 130 mph to 60 mph in a second when a car got in my lane without any jerking or anything like that. The sales rep said that there are superchargers every 100-150 km of autobahn (60-90 miles) in middle and southern Germany so driving a Tesla at high speeds is definitely doable. We could rent a Tesla and drive around Germany in autobahns. By my calculations going 110-130 mph would get you about 80 to 110 miles of range on a 85. | 2015-01-23 13:09:20 | 61 | What you describe is what I m a bit afraid of. I live in the Netherlands and drive through Germany often. If there s one thing you don t want to do on the Autobahn it s to drive 100km h! Sure there are plenty superchargers but driving fast for half an hour and charging again for half an hour gets quite tedious. Also says something about the energetic value of gasoline. Even my old gas-guzzler Mercedes 500E has about 400km range at 200km h+! And even at 250km h you sometimes get overtaken... Amazing :) | 2015-01-23 15:19:28 | 25 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,567 |
[Discussion] Someone else picking up Tesla delivery | So my dad purchased the Model 3 and was assigned his VIN number today. I m assuming it ll be ready to be picked up within a week or two.

Thank you! | 2018-03-12 23:19:20 | 9 | Probably not. It s a legal issue. He needs to personally sign for the title and liability of the car.

Considering Model X | Considering buying the Model X and have some general questions before I schedule my test drive. - When is the best time to buy a model X? - What are the differences between current year model and the previous models? Is there any site that has a change log style view? - Maybe just placebo but it seems like older model X s were taller in height and newer models are closer to the ground. - is 40k really worth the faster acceleration when comparing P100D vs 100D? - is there any big noticeable differences between 20 inch vs 22 inch wheels? - Can I take this thing camping? Does the seats in the 7 seat model fold down flat? - Any general information I should know about the vehicle? | 2018-09-19 04:43:32 | 8 | You just missed the free supercharging referral offer which would ve been a good time to order. The best time is always now or else it will be like playing catch up with iPhones (with a multi-year refresh cycle). Tesla makes a lot of changes over time but usually they are to improve the car - the one you buy now will be the latest one at all times unless you are buying pre-owned. There are OTA updates that give you extra software functions with major updates being pushed out every few months. We re due for a big one this month or next month. 40k for performance is pretty expensive. Unless you have money to blow and need an insanely quick car I would save the money. The seats don t fold down flat I believe. The height is the same for all models but they have air suspension that you can control which is why you might see some higher than others. My disclaimer is that I m not an X owner. Give it a test drive and only then will you truly see what the car is like. When you sit inside and see the windshield you ll fall in love. | 2018-09-19 05:01:17 | 18 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 4,082 |
Model 3 Performance Tire Options | I have seen a lot of discussion around the topic of 18 wheels tires that fit the Model 3 Performance with larger brakes but most of it is months old. I m wondering if I could get your expert latest opinions on the following: 1. I would like to get a 18 wheel tire package for winter. What would be the best bet that would fit the Performance brakes? 2. Would anyone advise swapping the 20 stock performance tires for a smaller size for summer driving? If so preferred options? | 2019-04-07 16:59:40 | 7 | Check out T Sportline for their wheel offerings.

Would you still purchase Model 3 if rebate is gone? | I see many people talking about the rebate and wonder if most will still order if the rebate is gone? In my case NJ doesn t even offer the rebate but we pay no sales tax on the sale of an EV so it was never a factor in my purchasing decision. What about yours? | 2016-03-24 14:17:02 | 29 | Absolutely not (unless I start making over 200k in the next 2 years). $7 500 is the difference between a poor financial decision and a reckless and irresponsible one for my single earner family. It s not a matter of saving up for it- that s easy in 2 years- it s a matter of that money having much better uses for my family. My daughter s college education my retirement planning etc. As I said elsewhere that s why I m disappointed by the move to put current owners first. The people who stand to benefit most from the tax credit can t afford a Tesla currently and why lines like > The quickest way to get your model 3 is to buy an S or X! sting and make me reconsider.

What should we expect from Tesla with next Model S upgrade based on previous refreshes? | I m a Day 1 stood in line at the Orlando store Model 3 reservation holder. I assume I ll get an email to configure or defer in January and still wavering on which way to go. On one hand I would like to hold out for the Performance Model in late 2018 - which will probably come in somewhere around an $80K price point if you assume $5K for the AWD addition and then about 25% markup from there for the P options similar to what they do for the S. Even with the uncertainty of the tax credit surviving into 2018 if it does it will almost surely be reduced to half credit by the time the P version of the Model 3 starts flowing off the assembly lines. On the other hand assuming the tax credit does survive into 2018 I could just choose to take the early production to ensure the tax credit and then just sell it upgrade later. But I m also wondering if Tesla is close to refreshing the interior technology on the Model S to match some of the Model 3 developments and perhaps if the timing is right maybe just go for broke and order a 100D (no performance upgrade) and enjoy the partial offset the tax credit would provide in exchange for the bigger car. I m curious from previous owners or those who have followed Tesla behavior closely over the past few years does Tesla announce upcoming refreshes to the Model S or do they just kinda happen? When they have made big refreshes in the past (original dash to new dash new gen seats etc did the price drop stay the same or rise with those evolutions? Just trying to triangulate on what to expect with Tesla s next Model S steps and pricing points as I decide which way to go with the Model 3 reservation. Decisions...decisions.... | 2017-12-06 02:22:21 | 22 | There has never been a refresh of the Model S—only incremental and (usually) individual changes. The closest to a refresh would be the new fascia it received in the middle of 2016 (which was mostly just a new bumper cover). Other big changes were new seats addition of a center console new AP hardware (all separate changes). Everyone talks about a refresh but that is not how Tesla does things. | 2017-12-06 03:16:52 | 19 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,963 |
There really are four model 3 s in the Semi. Four charging ports (1 connector) both 15:1 and 23:1 ratio gearboxes | This is going to both help improve volumes and lower costs. There are four motors (modified model 3 motors as expected) the rear two using 15:1 ratio gearboxes the front two using 23:1. This allows for more efficiency when massive power is not needed by using just the most efficient set for the speed. The charging system while operating coordinated is probably four independent systems and most probably running to four packs. This allows for more redundancy. One system fails and you still have three more . This could cover a failure in the Semi or in the megacharger. Great job Tesla! Also we can guess the Semi is about 20 000 lbs. About 4 000 lbs more than a regular diesel. While not exact you get that from comparing acceleration rates knowing 80 000 rate and the no trailer rate. | 2017-11-20 04:02:26 | 12 | If modified model 3 motors I think that speaks well for reliability of Model 3 motors.

Raven is like magic carpet ride. Five years of development is staggering. Highly recommended for those on the fence. | After a friend kept raving about the recent Model S following a testdrive I fell into the trap of checking out the local inventory. Little did i know what i bought was a teleporting magic carpet. It also happened to be the car he was eyeing. Oops. https: i.imgur.com lSb3J42.jpg It wasn t until i had my 14 and this 19 side by side and drove one after the other i noticed the expanse of the changes done in five years. Of course there s the facelift we re all used to and I ve had several loaners and tried all combinations of Autopilot versions suspensions and options offerings - except this. Small refinements add up over time but this is a serious architectural and generational change for the Model S. It ll pull car lengths on a GT-R yet float along the highway like an S-class. If you re on the fence about upgrading an older S or X i highly recommend trying a Raven. I was initially in it for the charging speed and long-distance endurance but I seriously couldn t be more chuffed. | 2020-06-25 18:24:02 | 923 | Well put. I had a 14 and a 17 S and recently test drove the 20. Better suspension. Better seats. Somehow more headroom. Just lots of little improvements that add up to a substantially better car. I wound up going with an inventory 20 Model X Performance and it feels like a spaceship. I can also report that I don t miss real leather in any way. I was a little grumpy about such an expensive car that can t even be ordered with leather but having lived with the Ultraleather for a few weeks I have zero regrets. | 2020-06-25 18:38:18 | 264 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 16,140 |
Leaving Tesla unplugged | Model Y unplugged Hello again I have read many many articles and I m just not finding a direct answer. Please read the entire post before commenting. I am in the market for a long range model Y. This is my current situation. I drive a semi truck. I keep my current vehicle inside of an enclosed storage unit that is not climate controlled. It is not directly exposed to the elements however it will be exposed to ambient air temperature. In Iowa you can sometimes reach -10° but it is not very often. I DO NOT in any way shape or form have a way to plug in this vehicle while I am on the road for up to 36 days straight. Usually it is only around 24 days. That means I do not have a household plug I cannot have one installed inside of the storage unit and there are no solar panels. I know I am being very specific but each time I mention I do not have a way to plug it in someone mentions plug it into a household outlet. I have read where people leave their vehicle unplugged parked at an airport for two weeks and come back with very minimal battery loss. If I charge up to 90% and turn everything off and only check the car once per week through the app should I be able to come back with sufficient battery to make it to the nearby supercharger even in the winter? Edit: I do not have anyone who can charge it for me. It is just me. Me myself and I. And I do not have a lightbulb socket either. | 2021-04-28 02:43:46 | 23 | Hate to say it but probably not the right vehicle for you at this time. A week or two? Probably fine though not ideal. Over a month in a midwestern winter? Yikes. Though I mean… I guess it s not like they teleport cars to Europe. Maybe if you were willing to do a disconnect and not be *able* to check in on it? | 2021-04-28 02:46:54 | 25 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 10,773 |
The TACC and AP controls on the Model S X versus Model 3 | I m not too thrilled about the “compromised” way to control TACC or AP on the Model 3. With the S I can easily change the engagement level following distance speed ceiling and speed floor using the AP lever. These settings are contextual to me and I am frequently modifying them depending on the situation (open highway stop n go manual steer autosteer). Now it would be dangerous trying to seek and find those little functions on a touchscreen —I ll have to resign to the fact that I couldn t make quick situational changes while driving like I could with my S. Why Tesla? Really hope you can do something with the scroll wheels to enable these no-look adjustments. | 2017-11-28 06:00:14 | 15 | They will almost certainly add that to the scroll wheels. They are surprisingly unused for now. I think though that if there are elements that you dislike in the Model 3 in favor of the Model S... that s kind of the point at this stage for them. | 2017-11-28 07:02:25 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,714 |
Is free supercharging going away on Wednesday | A friend of mine was told by a salesperson that he needed to order his X by Wednesday because free supercharging for life goes away on Wednesday. Is that true? Does that mean the referral codes are going away too? | 2018-01-29 20:03:49 | 21 | Supercharging for life will be going away -again- until they bring it back -again- to meet future sales goals. | 2018-01-29 21:32:28 | 37 | Tesla Referral Program Issues | 9,951 |
Overnight Test Drive | So on a whim I called my local service center and asked if it would be at all possible to get an overnight test drive on a Model 3 and after checking the schedule she was able to get me an overnight test drive Monday! I m super excited and can t wait until Monday. Just wanted to share because my friends don t understand why I m excited :) | 2019-07-18 02:06:26 | 66 | Congratulations on your upcoming purchase. | 2019-07-18 02:19:34 | 140 | Tesla test drive experiences | 14,571 |
Service Center said drain is expected. Seems to contradict what I ve seen on here. | I took my car in to have a few things fixed this last week and while there I mentioned that I lose 1 to 2 miles of range per hour after charge. If it s at 279 @ 1:30am. On average it ll be at 273 @ 7:30am. This is in my garage on strong wifi with no apps connecting to it. I was told this is normal. I mentioned my fear of leaving my car at the airport on a trip and he said yeah don t ever leave your car unplugged or it could drain completely and ruin the computer costing $5 000 to repair. They updated me to 32.5 and no improvement. Is this truly something to be expected and everyone s TM3 drains at this rate? Edit: I think I ve narrowed down the issue and it s from making REST API calls to their web services for metric information. It seems that it s keeping the car from going to sleep. I ve ceased to do this and the issue has resolved itself. The advice from the service rep that it s normal is still wrong however this was self-inflicted. Hopefully in the future they ll make the calls sleep-friendly and I can turn the data collection back on. Thank you all for your feedback! | 2018-09-08 13:57:18 | 11 | If possible try doing a 24hr test without waking the car up. Also there might be some settings like always connected and preconditioning that could cause drain. However I m not sure these are options in the Model 3 now. I ve parked for 17 days in and open lot with only 0.66 % drain per day. https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments 9dzijq comment e5l84rc?st=JLTIR9ZE& sh=1cbffeb6 | 2018-09-08 14:21:56 | 13 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 17,030 |
What is the current Tesla cost per kwh? | Also have there been any projections for when Tesla will cross the hyped $100 per kwh threshold? | 2016-12-05 21:17:57 | 15 | [It was estimated to be $190 kWh back in April](http: www.greencarreports.com news 1103667_electric-car-battery-costs-tesla-190-per-kwh-for-pack-gm-145-for-cells). Tesla has targeted reducing the cost by 30% with the Gigafactory which should get them down to around $130 kWh. With 5% incremental yearly improvements in energy density it would be another 6 years or so after the Gigafactory starts producing packs in high-volume. If they exceed the 30% reduction target it would be that much sooner. | 2016-12-05 21:29:05 | 14 | Tesla Battery Production Optimization | 22,765 |

Now worst possible moment to buy S or X? | On the fence about getting a Model S but after the Semi event I think now it s the worst possible moment to pull the trigger. - Interior refresh was not announced and this has been coming for months - New Roadster 200kwh pack will definitely be used for the flagship models making 100Ds drastically lose value. Please convince me I am wrong. | 2017-11-19 17:50:23 | 9 | It s not guaranteed we see 200 kwh packs in an S or X anytime soon. Could be well after the first new roadster for all we know. I do share your opinion that an interior refresh has gotta be on the horizon for the S and X but perhaps Tesla doesn t want to do anything to complicate the S and X production while still sorting through hell with the 3. That too could be a long ways out. No way to tell. You can wait for these things to be introduced in an S or X but you might be waiting two years. We have no idea. | 2017-11-19 18:02:28 | 23 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,215 |
Questions for recent Tesla! Dealership couldn t answer and nothing online... so maybe you guys can help. | First Is there a way to have the driver s side door handle pop out or do they all always have to pop out? My current car if I hit the unlock button once it will just unlock the drivers side. If I hit the unlock button twice it will unlock all doors. I ve had an experience where a man tried to open my passenger door and get into my car while I was in downtown Seattle after work. Second is there a panic button function? One that will set off the alarm system? Third if my car gets broken into will it alert me that my car has been broken into via text email call? Fourth if I get into a car crash is there kind of like an on-star thing that will alert authorities ambulance and closest contact of my crash? Fifth I make a yearly road-trip drive to Chicago. Will the timezone automatically change or will I have to manually change the timezone time? Sixth how are the apps for it? I m curious if there s Waze functionality for it. I use Waze often and it seems like the default map sucked when I did the test drive. Thanks! | 2015-06-08 07:47:12 | 24 | The vehicle unlock always pops out all of the handles there s (currently) no way to only pop out the driver-side handle. There s no panic button on the fob and no functionality for this (of which I m aware). There is an option to receive notifications in the mobile app from the car alarm so I m assuming that it will notify you if the alarm has been triggered. I m not certain if the authorities are automatically contacted in the event of an accident but I believe they are. ~~I ve not driven to a different time zones but I would assume that it would update. It does change w daylight savings so I m sure it changes w location as well.~~ ~~ edit : Update from [tomoldbury](http: www.reddit.com user tomoldbury) it doesn t automatically change w timezone but a long press on the clock will re-synch the time with the new time zone.~~ edit: Update from [Zok2000](http: www.reddit.com user Zok2000) He confirmed it does indeed change when you cross timezones with no interaction required. Right now the only apps available are those that come with the car. There are no third-party apps like Waze. The navigation app in the car does get traffic updates but it s not quite as good as Waze with providing info on specific traffic events. All this being said things could certainly change with future firmware updates. The functionality of the fob can be changed via firmware update as they ve already done this once before. They recently added a feature where a long press on the trunk button will open the charge port. All of the features that are lacking that you ve inquired about could be added in future firmware releases. | 2015-06-08 11:31:12 | 8 | Model 3 phone key issues | 15,997 |
Getting Tesla on the phone? | I m getting very frustrated here… My car just needs a couple of minor fixes: broken hood release cable and some lining that s come loose inside the wheel well. Problem is I can t get the local Tesla Service Center on the phone! I used to be able to phone HQ describe my problem and they d patch me through to the service center. Now when I call I just get put into a robotic phone system. When I choose the option to schedule service for my car it spits back instructions to either use the Tesla App in my car or on my phone or to use the “chat” option at tesla.com support. I can t use the Tesla App in my car because the Roadster doesn t support any of that stuff on its world s tiniest touch screen. I can t log into the Tesla App on my phone because it can t connect with the Roadster. (The only reason I even have the app on my phone is because of the loaner cars I was given in the past.) Well that leaves the “chat” option on the Tesla website—which as far as I can see does not exist? I went to tesla.com signed into my account (where my Roadster does show up just fine by the way) and I went to the indicated tesla.com support page and I searched it from end to end and I can t see anything called “chat” there. The only thing I found was a “contact us” page where I could type in a message then it tells me to expect a reply within 48 hours. That was about a week ago. It s like putting a message in a bottle and throwing it into the sea. I would like to drop by the service center (Austin TX) in person and talk with someone face-to-face but it s 100 miles from my home. So that s at least half a day undertaking which seems ridiculous. Does anybody know a trick that I m missing a way around this roadblock? Is there a magic extension number that I can give to the robotic phone system? Is there some way to find the fabled “chat” system at tesla.com that I just am not seeing? Should I send snail mail? Carrier pigeon?? | 2019-08-09 21:43:21 | 22 | In my experience chat is best. Start here: [https: www.tesla.com support contact](https: www.tesla.com support contact) Follow the prompts. It ll help you search the knowledge base. At the bottom of the search results it asks Do you need more help? If you click Yes you get a few more fields to fill out and the option to chat or email. Click chat. I had a specialist on my screen in under 5 minutes but it is NOT intuitive to find this. I ve had fantastic experiences setting service appointments via the Tesla app but I doubt that s an option for you as a legacy Roadster owner. My advice on that is to ship it to Orlando. We have an outstanding service center that has people trained on the legacy roadster. I ll personally babysit the car for the time it s here and thoroughly road test it for you. -) | 2019-08-09 21:53:17 | 8 | Tesla Service Experience Feedback | 7,165 |
White Vinyl Chrome Delete | First time poster. Love this subreddit! I have a Deep Blue Metallic Performance Model 3 with the white interior.

Lyft Uber: Daily supercharging to 90% ok? | I have spent the last three weeks driving my M3 LR for Lyft and Uber. I drive around 200 miles a day and charge at a supercharger in Boston every day. I don t have access to overnight charging at this moment. I know in detail all the reasons why fast charging and overcharging can be detrimental to battery life. But most of what I have seen is that it s bad or will reduce my battery s life. Instead of generalizations I am wondering if anyone has quantified the impact of the kind of usage I have.

Dear Future Tesla Owners | Now that the Model 3 is finally almost here I foresee a huge potential problem. People that aren t used to Autopilot (AP) are going to be enabling it acting silly and causing wrecks.

30 miles of range loss in 1 day | Took delivery on Wednesday. I ve been reading posts about normal range loss. I ve seen somewhere between 3 miles per day to 1 mike per hour. I ve lost 30 miles of range since I charged the car yesterday morning. I turned off sentry mode to ensure that wasn t draining battery. Nothing else should be pulling in battery. Is this normal? The car is parked in a garage with spotty cell service if that might have an impact. | 2019-08-03 13:04:23 | 12 | It s possible the car was downloading a big update or uploading a bunch of information. This would require the car to be on which uses more range. You just need a bigger sample size. Wait a few weeks and keep an eye on it. If you re losing 30 miles a day every day then you know something is wrong and you can take it in for service. | 2019-08-03 13:24:29 | 19 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 685 |
Meter for 120v charging on a shared energy bill | I m looking to get a meter to put between the 120v NEMA outlet and the charging cable to measure the electricity use when I charge my M3 at home. I primarily charge at my work for free but I can t always and depending on my weekend activities and the time of year it would be good to charge at home. The issue is that the power is a shared bill. The charging even just the 120v charging will make enough of a difference that my housemates will want me to pay the difference in power consumption when I charge. If I could throw a meter in I could just check it and reset it monthly to determine how much extra to pay on the bill. I m worried if I get a cheap one it may not be up to the task does anyone know if cheap ones like **[this](https: www.amazon.com Electricity-Monitor-Voltage-Overload-Protection dp B07DPJ3RGB ref=pd_sbs_469_t_1 147-4309384-7416601?_encoding=UTF8& pd_rd_i=B07DPJ3RGB& pd_rd_r=7c2a0cf0-cd7c-4bb1-bde6-401acbb0db34& pd_rd_w=ZHEr3& pd_rd_wg=QfK3f& pf_rd_p=5cfcfe89-300f-47d2-b1ad-a4e27203a02a& pf_rd_r=42AKT9DZ9GZDWXT2A6WM& refRID=42AKT9DZ9GZDWXT2A6WM& th=1)** would cause any issues? | 2019-12-06 05:36:20 | 13 | This is probably a place I wouldn t shop in the bargain bin. This is a grown-up amount of power going through that hose for a long time. Kill-a-watt is the big name in this space. They re not that much more than the one you re looking at. Their 15A models should be fine since your car will only be pulling 12. (It has to be derated at 80% because it s a continuous load...) Ponile has one that s 16A. IF you know what you re doing and can check cable gauge and breaker panel capacity you can swap the outlet for a 20A connecter and replace the business end of your charger for $35 and go NEMA 5-20 which will get you a solid 16A. (That s the 20A derated to 80% again.) Total cost is under $40 and it s a nice boost even if you re renting. You want to be really sure you know the wiring used and be comfortable with such things. | 2019-12-06 06:07:22 | 18 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 11,435 |
Wow! Model 3 SR+ is very tempting now with 263 miles and new interior!! | I ve always been someone who wouldn t compromise on range but the SR+ is starting to be a very compelling vehicle that I think I could recommend to friends. Back when it was 240 miles (with the old heating system) I couldn t recommend it since winter range would be a disappointment and my friends would be disappointed. However now with the heat pump and range bump I think that SR+ is a viable only car all four seasons. Previously I could only recommend AWD Long Range and the price was is high enough that I wasn t comfortable recommending it since I think it s rude to recommend a car that so expensive . However I think I d now be comfortable recommending the SR+ which is a much more affordable price. I need to wait for real-world winter reviews but SR+ looks very compelling!! | 2020-10-17 11:49:50 | 275 | My SR+ is absolutely AMAZING with 250 miles. It gets everything I need done. Obviously daily driving is no problem but I recently took it on a 800+ mile road trip and it was perfect. Sure maybe LR would have reduced the stops by one or two but that didn t matter to me. With the range boost it s no doubt a no brainier and a no compromise option. | 2020-10-17 14:17:34 | 111 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 23,969 |

Gen 3 Chargers: Can someone confirm if they can be used with a J1772 adaptor to charge other EVs? | Pretty much what the title says. We have Prius Prime (plug in hybrid) and just had 60amp 240v service run for a charger. Considering getting a Gen 3 charger and J1772 adaptor so we can charge the Prime or possibly a Tesla in the future. Any reason we shouldn t can t go this route? | 2021-01-17 20:23:17 | 6 | Yes it will charge with an aftermarket adapter. I d buy the [ChargePoint Home Flex](https: www.chargepoint.com drivers home ) for a universal solution.

Remember what might come out before the $35 000 SR version. | I was just thinking that instead of the LR RWD with premium interior I would prefer the MR AWD with premium interior for $1k more. Then I realized that Tesla might come out with the LR and non premium interior version before the SR premium interior version especially before the SR RWD non premium interior version. The MR non premium and SR premium could probably come out around the same time when it comes to helping Tesla become more profitable sooner. All in all we re going to see a few more variants before the $35 000 version starts to finally be offered. | 2018-10-19 21:35:31 | 19 | I am pretty sure the non-PUP will come dead last because it is the most expensive to introduce due to all the line changes it requires (different roof seats interior trim pieces etc). Every other change is software a few more cells or an extra motor. | 2018-10-19 21:49:59 | 43 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 16,377 |
What exactly is a free supercharging mile ? (also great referral experience) | So I referred a co-worker for their Model 3 purchase a few weeks back. Based on the reports here I heavily emphasized using the referral link... and everything went perfectly! The referral showed up in my app account the next day and this morning (after he took delivery yesterday) I received the 5 000 free supercharging miles . This leads to my actual question of what *exactly* is a free supercharging mile ? The reason I ask is because I charged from 8%-90% at a local supercharger which according to TeslaFi was 258 rated miles (slightly lower than the car measurement of 285-24 = 261) and was 61.44 kWh. Looking at my app it says i was only charged for 145 miles as I have 4 845 free supercharging miles remaining. In my tesla account history it shows an invoice for 62 kWh being credited. Given that and doing some quick math does it mean that I will get somewhere around 2100 kWh of free supercharging regardless of the actual miles ? That would come out to almost 9 000 rated miles in the car which is a huge bonus over the expectation! Edit: this is with a LR RWD Model 3 with Aero wheels if that helps comparisons. | 2019-05-23 11:00:57 | 26 | Yes noticed the same. They probably have it set to worse case scenario for efficiency like Model X P100D. They had 400 kWh free per year at one point and I think it was probably too confusing and hard for people to grasp the value. | 2019-05-23 11:09:38 | 20 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 22,651 |
Took Model 3 delivery tonight and app won t show the car | I just had my car delivered and played around with it for a bit. I tried to connect my phone to it but the app only shows the Welcome to the Tesla family screen. The only options I have are to get support watch videos about basic features and get my referral link. I turned on the mobile app access in the Model 3 and when trying to turn it off I was prompted for the email and password of the Tesla account. When I entered my credentials I was met with a dialog box that said my vehicle was not linked to that account and to try a different one. I attempted the two thumb reset and manually powering off the vehicle as well as restarting and uninstalling the application. Has anyone run into a similar issue? | 2019-08-05 04:16:39 | 6 | Wait until morning.

Waiting for Model 3 - What Used Car! | Hey guys long time reader--never poster (lurker)! I am a SoCal resident with a Model 3 on order (stood in line with the best of em) and my lease for my current vehicle is maturing in April. I would like to know what everyone here thinks would be a good used car to buy in the $10-20k range that won t depreciate in value too quickly between now an when I can actually get my paws on my Model 3. I don t drive too much during the week as I take a shuttle to work but I do tend to take nice long trips for backpacking to the High Sierra with gear in the trunk. I have my eyes on a 2015 Mazda 6 but I could also look at something like a Focus. I could also probably get away with not having a car at all and walking everywhere in my town. I assume I m not the only one looking to do this kind of thing. Should I throw down for a used vehicle until Model 3 delivery or just tough it out and Lyft Walk to my destinations? Hmm! | 2017-03-23 20:16:49 | 17 | Don t buy a 2015 car.

Model x battery stated distance vs actual distance | Hi all Was wondering if any model x owners notice a large discrepency with what their battery states their available miles are available to drive vs actual driven miles. A friend of mine who owns an S said she has been using an X while hers in in the shop and stated that her X is using almost double the amount of miles per her battery than actually being driven. IE she travels 30 miles but it s using 60 miles of battery life. She says she does not have this problem with her S. Thanks for your thoughts and experience! | 2017-09-13 18:26:02 | 6 | The Model X does use more energy than the Model S. Perhaps your fired was describing the average Wh mile and not range. For someone new to EVs the term watt-hour-per-mile is easy to miss intemperate as range. It is quite challenging to get the Model X s average below 320 Wh mile. Whereas the Model S can get down into the 270 Wh mile range with some conservative driving. Aggressive driving in the Model X can really do a number on your Wh mile and range. So too can wind or other external factors like temperature and precipitation. Lots of short trips will also eat into the range faster than with the S. More so if it s hot and the temperature overheat protection is enabled. Last your friend might want to check what the suspension is set to. Driving around on the highway with it set to High will be a lot more noticeable than on the Model S. | 2017-09-13 18:48:48 | 8 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 13,070 |
Selectively mute Home & Work navigation | Option to selectively mute navigation to Home and Work locations. I love the automatic navigation function because it gives me a real time estimate of how long my commute to and from work will take. However I don t actually need it to provide turn by directions so I usually mute the navigation voice prompts. Unfortunately this means I need to remember to unmute them again when I m using the navigation system. Seems like it would be useful if Work and Home could be selectively muted separate from the overall mute control. | 2020-01-24 06:10:19 | 70 | i keep it always muted haven t missed the audio a bit! | 2020-01-24 06:48:43 | 22 | Spotify Integration Analysis | 16,905 |

Cold winter parking | Just had my first taste of winter parking troubles with my new model 3. Arrived at camp with a little more than range than I needed to get home but 24 hours later I d lost 30km. I made it home fine with some extra charging but it could have sucked So what happens if you go away for a week in real winter? It gets to minus 30 here in Edmonton what would I come back to if it wasn t plugged in? | 2019-09-30 02:04:22 | 15 | If you can always have the car sheltered and always leave it plugged in. With that said there are two separate things to consider for leaving it in extreme cold: phantom drain and cold range effects. Phantom drain is a true % drop per day and differs depending on if the car s being held awake (sentry mode etc) or sleeping. You might see up to 1% per hour if the car s awake and as little as 1% per day if it s asleep. Phantom drain is unaffected by the temperature (the car will not spend any energy keeping the battery warm unless you re charging). Cold range effects are seen when the battery cools off below freezing and the car starts to estimate a lower Usable state of charge based on temperature. This mileage isn t lost it s just considered locked out until the battery warms up again. During a -28°C night last year I left my car outside overnight to measure the effects and I saw a maximum difference of 6.2% between usable SoC and true SoC. When I brought the car into the garage and plugged it in the first thing that happens is the battery heater kicks on to bring the battery up to a safe charging temperature. This reverses the range loss from the cold and the usable and true SoCs converge again but no actual range is being added until the battery reaches a certain temperature. [Here s a graph showing the two scenarios](https: imgur.com a PhwCi8s). When I did those tests last winter the battery heater was limited to 2.5 kW and you see I had to wait over 70 minutes until the battery was warm enough to begin charging and a full 2 hours until the heater stopped. With 2019.8.3 they [increased the battery heater draw to 6 kW](https: www.reddit.com r teslamotors comments b677nd fw_201983_appears_to_increase_model_3s_battery ) which if you have a 32A 240V charger means you can now expect a warm battery in under half that time. | 2019-09-30 03:05:37 | 26 | Tesla Supercharger Road Trips | 3,983 |

FYI if you re still waiting on your Model Y delivery I got a call from Tesla yesterday re: complete unavailability of Model Y VINs until at least September | *tl dr Tesla rep said that due to the factory shut-down except for the recent handful of MY deliveries to date they re completely out of MY builds and although the factory has fired up again deliveries shouldn t be expected until around September. Not clear whether he was referring to my build configs specifically or in general.* So here s the timeline of events re: my build order(s!) and FYI I m based in the SF Bay Area: * Valentine s Day 2020: Ordered a white white LR-AWD + FSD + 19 wheels. * March 29 2020: Ordered same as above but with 20 wheels instead just in case. Figured it was a small price to pay ($100) to possibly increase the odds of getting a delivery since anecdotal evidence suggested the 20 builds were going first. * May 13 2020: Received that same generic email that so many others received saying simply that we will contact you with available delivery dates as soon as possible. It didn t specify either order and I received only one such email not two. A few days ago I submitted an inquiry via the Tesla website and the rep called me yesterday morning. After pulling up my account information and seeing my orders he immediately explained in no uncertain terms that we shouldn t expect our delivery until at least September. When I pressed that other deliveries had occurred he acknowledged that there were a few builds -- mostly Performance -- that were indeed delivered but beyond those they were completely out of new Model Y builds for the time being and whatever VINs are currently out there are already spoken for with new VINs delayed until at least September. And that was pretty much that. I was under the impression that the factory has ramped up production and I have confirmed with several people -- even in our neighborhood -- who ordered as late as March who have already taken delivery. So if anybody has any thoughts or alternative data points to share please do. | 2020-05-24 17:22:50 | 83 | Doesn t explain the huge batch of Model Ys with 19” Gemini s being shipped to the East coast as we speak.

All I want to do is add songs on my phone and have the newly added songs show up at the top of my playlist. | 2022-01-06 16:54:44 | 75 | You d think it would be exactly the same as normal Spotify on your phone | 2022-01-06 18:14:45 | 29 | Spotify Integration Analysis | 21,991 |
Elon: Autopilot coming soon for narrow streets. Does this mean streets with no lane markers? | On the 2020 Q2 earnings call on Wednesday Elon said that Autopilot was coming soon for narrow streets. Does this mean Autopilot would work on streets with no lane markers? If so that would be a pretty big deal since right now you cannot use Autopilot on streets without lane markers such as residential streets some country roads and unfinished (gravel) roads. I m curious how the car would handle an oncoming car if the street was really narrow. Would the car pull off to the side like a human would and let it pass? Either way it s exciting news as I do a lot of nature stuff (hiking biking camping floating) on the weekends where the roads are often not marked. | 2020-07-23 16:12:52 | 94 | Also what about when a vehicle is parked on the site of the road. Will AP be smart enough to stop behind it let the traffic go by then pull back out and go around them. | 2020-07-23 16:30:16 | 27 | Tesla Autopilot Performance | 5,978 |
Tesla profile for new vehicle question | I put in my order for a model y. In filling out the profile registration section there is the option to transfer my current plates or get new plates. This is in Virginia. I will be getting rid of one car so could transfer the existing plates. I m unsure if the pros and cons and doing this or getting new plates. I do know that no matter what for Virginia I should get the clean fuel tags we have here for access to HoV lanes but that has to be done after I get the car. | 2020-05-21 23:21:46 | 5 | Virginia special plates for Free HOV access isn t running. That s been over for awhile. :( | 2020-05-21 23:27:27 | 3 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 20,131 |
Are the car basic functions dependent on its complex technology? | Hey everyone I ordered my model 3 last week. I was wondering if ever in the distant future there is problems with the electronic systems will it be possible to still use the car to go from point A to point B? Or is the motor only accessible through the computer whatever systems that are in place. I m asking this because let s say in 10 years from now *if unlikely scenario* that tesla would go down will it be possible to still use the car if there is no way to fix electronic parts? And has the model 3 made easy to upgrade maintain? Such as changing the battery in the future or upgrading computer chip. Maybe even third party battery makers? | 2019-05-13 21:27:28 | 9 | If tesla goes under they will be bought by someone else. Also if Tesla goes under and doesn t get bought out with over 300k cars sold there is bound to be an aftermarket scene for these cars. & #x200B The way I see it if the DeLorean still has a market the Tesla will | 2019-05-13 21:33:31 | 16 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 2,196 |
No more overheated wireless charging | Recently found a way to reduce the heat from charging wirelessly. Put your phone upside down this works the best for iPhone with MagSafe. (the induction coil for iPhone with MagSafe is a bit higher than normal That offset creates more resistance while charging thus heat.) I know it s not the best option but the trick makes charging fairly quick and no overheating. | 2022-09-03 22:13:15 | 32 | Which iPhone model? Do you have any evidence it charges more efficiently? Coils in the iPhone are always dead center so I m highly skeptical of your claim. | 2022-09-04 00:48:41 | 17 | Miscellaneous Tesla Topic | 14,089 |
